Didn’t we learn anything from RoboCop? We could totally see this Kinect controlled robot (which happens to weigh five tons) going out of control and liquefying an unsuspecting movie extra standing near it. [via Dvice]

If that last one was a bit of a let down, you might enjoy this automatic targeting system more. The blue triangle shaped icon is setting a target, the amber triangles have already been targeted. Once all the balloons are identified a laser quickly zaps each in order. Quite impressive, although no details have been provided. [Thanks everyone who sent in a link to this]

I may not be one to talk, because my feet are unusually dextrous. I can express at least all the emotion with them that a Muppet can. I am guilty of doing this on occasion to entertain my girlfriend, and did so for a half hour just yesterday. She’s even given my feet names according to their “personalities”. Good silly fun.

Butt seriously… I just don’t know what to make of this. From the video, “And second is to raise the argument as to what perceptions will be manifested in the minds of people who communicate with SHIRI.” Say what? Communicate with a robotic posterior, my foot.

Dr. Shiri, you’re missing a far greater calling. Please go into the movie business. I want to see a giant robotic butt destroying Toyko, Godzilla-style. And scientists making futile attempts to establish communications with it, in an attempt at placation. I will be watching for it on Rifftrax.
